If you open the folder in XCC Mixer, what does that report for the file format?

Black canvas is normal when Mixer isn't run with admin permission and/or fails to find a game that uses PALs.

that's unimportant. GD wanted to know the file format. And this is shown as SHP. the other option would be SHP(TS)

I think the question now is how the SHP is loaded.

@RAWRmods you can attach files/images to posts. no need for an external file hoster

I don't know how this loading SHP for a single mod map works, but maybe you find the answer in this topic where i've made my first steps into OpenRA modding and added a new unit.

Exactly as LKO says; I wanted to know the file format.

The game should be able to load artwork and voices from map folders though. Where my other doubts are - I'm no mapmodder myself to have experience with it - is that overriding assets this way doesn't work and you need to name it as say, 5tnk.shp and then overriding 3tnk's sequence to use this 5thnk artwork instead of 3tnk.

I downloaded OpenRA a few weeks ago and started the mod at the same time so I suppose the previous cycle.

How do i override the sequence and make 3tnk use 5tnk.shp?

I've no idea why the override doesn't work on artwork level. Might be a bug, didn't debugged it properly.

I just worked it around with the sequences override in yaml and a new filename instead. See attachment.
